Alabama Football: What we learned from SEC Media Days

SEC Media Days is an impressive showcase for SEC football. For most fans, it marks the beginning of the always anticipated new college football season. Talk of Alabama football dominated the four-day event.

Let’s look at some of the highlights for both informational and entertainment value.

SEC football fans hoping for candor by coaches are always disappointed during SEC Media Days. None of the SEC’s current 14 coaches come close to the past directness of Steve Spurrier. Virtually all comments are carefully crafted in advance.

This year was no different. Based on the 14 coach previews, all teams will be better in 2017, all of them will qualify for bowl games, and almost all expect to contend for a division championship.
